A Detroit property contaminated with uranium and other dangerous
chemicals partially collapsed into the Detroit River on Nov. 26
The news is especially concerning because the Detroit drinking water
intake lines are nearby downriver.
Due to the timing of the collapse, the spill went unnoticed to many
responsible state and federal environmental regulatory agencies. U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency officials were not aware of the collapse
until contacted by the Windsor Star on Wednesday.
Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy said in a
statement Thursday: "EGLE is aware that the site was previously used to
process uranium and there is no evidence to suggest that there is a
current radiological risk. EGLE has no reason to believe PCBs or other
contaminants from the site are a hazard to the public or the
environment. However, EGLE intends to continue investigating potential
impacts as part of its assessment of the incident.
[And the water in Flint was perfectly safe to drink].
